Hidden / Spy CCTV Cameras

Compact hidden cameras are useful where a discreet view matters — keeping an eye on a cash counter, store-room, entrance or your own home. We supply and install small WiFi and wired mini cameras with mobile viewing and recording.

Make My Lappy installs hidden cameras only for lawful security on premises you own or control, and we'll advise on sensible, legal placement. Tell us what you need to cover and we'll recommend a tidy, effective setup.

People usually ask for these in a few honest situations: watching a till or counter in a shop, keeping an eye on a store-room or stock cupboard, a quiet view of the main door of a home or office, or checking on domestic help, a nanny or an elderly relative in spaces you are responsible for. A small WiFi camera suits a single room where you mainly want to view and record on your phone, while a discreet wired camera tied into your DVR or NVR makes more sense where you want continuous footage alongside your other cameras.

• Survey: we look at sight-lines, lighting and power so the camera stays unobtrusive but actually sees what you need.
• Setup: WiFi or neatly run wired cabling, recording to an app or your existing recorder, plus night vision where the spot is dark.
• Mobile viewing: live view and playback on your phone, set up and tested before we leave.

An honest word on whether this is right for you: hidden cameras are for your own home, shop or office, not for private areas such as bathrooms, changing rooms or anyone else's premises. We will guide you toward sensible, lawful placement and decline anything that crosses that line. If a visible camera would do the job just as well, we will say so — a clearly mounted unit is often a stronger deterrent.
